Senior Software Engineer at Deloitte
Continuous data access has ensured high uptime and has supported real-time transactional processing
The best features DataStax Enterprise offers include scaling, speed of data access, and ease of use for those familiar with traditional SQL. The scaling and speed of data access have benefited my team because the scaling and the speeding of data provide linear scale as well as multi-data centers' real-time replication of data such that we can maintain uptime even with the loss of multiple data centers. It enables us to maintain our uptime, which is very crucial for our clients. DataStax Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by providing the ability to have our services up and running even with a total outage at one of our data centers. There is no need to maintain windows since we can turn off data centers while doing maintenance and then put them back in the rotation and move on. I can share specific outcomes or metrics that show this positive impact, such as improvements in performance of about 60% and a reduction in downtime of about 40 to 45%, which is very great.

Handles large data volumes effectively but connection issues require attention
The Oracle NoSQL solution is used primarily for storing data for our web applications. We work alongside the DBA team for this purpose, given that specific departments manage aspects of its use. We choose it specifically to handle large scales of data, such as in one of our bank customer's scenarios using more than nine hundred gigabytes of data.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I can share specific outcomes resulting from using DataStax Enterprise as we have been seeing an uptick in user adoption, since the introduction of this, our users have jumped from around 20,000 to 50,000."
"DataStax Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by helping us handle large amounts of data more easily and quickly, improving our system speed, and making our application more reliable."
"Some of the positive outcomes I see are that system stability improved a lot, there is no single point of failure, so downtime is reduced significantly, and the system stays up even when we face issues in a node."
"I can share specific outcomes or metrics that show this positive impact, such as improvements in performance of about 60% and a reduction in downtime of about 40 to 45%, which is very great."
"DataStax Enterprise has positively impacted my organization as we are now an e-commerce website that has never faced downtime, which helps our business to boom and significantly enhances our customer experience."
"The tool is easy to learn."
"The features I've found to be most valuable are the speed of reading and writing (read/write performance levels are really high), the transactions model (semantics for data manipulation), and just the overall simplicity of using it."
"Oracle NoSQL is pretty scalable."
"With Oracle NoSQL, our clients have a highly scalable, simple to set up database that performs very well when data is organized correctly from the beginning."
"Try it! You’ll be impressed."
"So far, we find stability to be very reasonable, it is dependable and we do not have any big issues."
"NoSQL has high availability; I think it's perfect from a technical perspective, and it's quick to run and go."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
 

Cons

"There is still room for improvement and DataStax Enterprise can definitely improve their UI."
"I believe that DataStax Enterprise could be improved by working more on making the OpsCenter user interface more user-friendly, particularly regarding the fonts and overall UI."
"If not keeping current with updates, updating from an older major version to a newer major version can be a bit complicated and time-consuming, but DataStax Enterprise support will help us with this."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that I feel the cost is a bit expensive compared to the open-source implementation of Cassandra, and the initial cluster setup is complex."
"The user interface of DataStax Enterprise can be simpler and easier to use, especially for new users, and I think it should be improved in that area."
"I would rate Oracle NoSQL six or 6.5 out of ten based on my experience."
"You will get high performance when you organize your data correctly at the beginning. Otherwise, there are instability issues."
"Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some improvements in OCI's building options."
"The installation is difficult."
"We've had some issues with stability. During our testing, we were able to drop an entire database by writing huge amounts of data."
"The main areas that need improvement with NoSQL are in the area of big data and user-friendly presentation."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"Focusing on making the administration easier compared to other solutions like MongoDB could be beneficial. Simplifying the administrative tasks could enhance the user experience."
